    Once the winter blends go out your problem should solve itself. The past couple weeks the weather has been bad as well. For now you could try taking the cruise off and using the boost gauge only use what boost you need to and allow the truck to slow down some when it climbs. Are you in low speed limit zones like CA a lot? Having to hold it back down every hill kills the momentum going up, CA is murder on fuel mileage, 7's about where your gonna be in fully loaded in CA. Otherwise its not usual for a cascadia to be struggling to break 7, even out west. Are you not allowing the truck to coast downhill above 65, to keep the excessive overspeed warning from coming on? Let it roll up to the speed limit and never above 75.
